A poem by John Oxenham

Shut Windows

________________________________________________
Title:     Shut Windows
Author: John Oxenham [More Titles by Oxenham]

(For the Braille Magazine)


When the outer eye grows dim,
Turns the inner eye to Him,
Who makes darkness light.
Fairer visions you may see,
Live in nobler company,
And in larger liberty,
Than the men of sight.

He sometimes shuts the windows but to open hidden doors,
Where all who will may wander bold and free,
For His house has many mansions, and the mansions many floors,
And every room is free to you and me.





[The end]
John Oxenham's poem: Shut Windows
